Buick Goes Bye-Bye
The golf tournament formerly known as the “Buick Invitational” will take place at Torrey Pines Golf Course as planned from January 25-31, 2010, but for now it’s “The Century Club of San Diego Invitational.” Members of the club are still looking for a major sponsor.

The colorful fiberglass cows are on display throughout the village and they make me – and a lot of other people – smile as we go about our business. The […]
The La Jolla Rough Water Swim
The La Jolla Rough Water Swim, America’s premier event of this type, takes place at the La Jolla Cove every year on the first Sunday in September. More than 2,000 swimmers churning up the water make for a memorable sight, and it’s not surprising that this is one of La Jolla’s most popular spectator events. Most competitors follow […]
